That was 4 years ago.
Then a year or two ago there were SHOT Show rumors that BAM was going to start making it.
Then, crickets.
What happened?
-
I think they scrapped it. To costly to make.

BOOOOO!!!
There's a gaping hole in the market for a quality SSP/MSP. The Daisy and Crosman SSP's and MSP's are mostly cheap plastic and need mods to be potent, the Benjamin's design is old (no scope rails, so-so trigger) and their QC has fallen badly, and the FX Indy is $1500+.
A 12 fpe, SSP for $300 would sell, IMO, but what do I know.
-
I totally agree.
I would have bought one in a heart beat.

+1 With that being said it might have had too many bugs to fix. The same reason I will avoid the Diana NP when it first comes out.

I wish crosman or hatsan would pick up on this and Bobs uber pumper
I think sales would be good I might even get one
especially if it could do 12fpe or more on a single stroke and
was under $500(are there any guns that can do that now?)
we should start calling the manufacturers and giving them input they have listened in the past
they might listen again...

This is a fine read. I really love pneumatics ;D
When Webley closed the project they signed over the Patent, the Paradigm name and the 150 or so stocks that had been made by Custom Stock to me. However none of it, is of any use, unless I have the actions to put in them, otherwise they are just a lot of expensive fire wood. This left Mikina, Martins Rubber and me vastly out of pocket and it took all of us a very long time to get over it. However Mikina have now agreed that if I can get enough customers, they will make the actions required but the minimum batch size would be 50 rifles. My objective would be to try and sell 150 to use up the stocks I have now got.
*10/10/2018 News Flash. *
The First New Paradigm to be built in many years is nearing completion and will be ready on the 13 th of October this year. Anyone wanting one in this instance, should make contact via the Contacts page to register their interest as we cannot sell from here.

If they come into production I intend to get one ;D.. If they are not too expensive though ;D again!

The Peregrine SSP is also very nice with its carbon fiber components ;D

A 12 ft/lb SSP sounds to me like a dream rifle. Target, hunting, plinking.
My reservations are:-
1.The cost of the rifle landed in NZ. Probably prohibitive.
2. The cocking effort in one stroke to get 12 ft/lbs might be too hard.
Still a grand idea.

It is my dream rifle too ;D
Well, we can dream, can't we? Lol!
I really hope it will be in the market soon because I am getting one for sure!
-
Emailed them a while ago ;D
-
It just got more expensive becaause I would have to get another Corgi to go with it.
